Re: If M. Harrison sits....
Another side note - I do not think Harrison is as big a loss as some people think. He is 35 and no where near the player he was three or four years ago. Reputations always lag reality by a few seasons. Right now, Wayne and Clark are bigger threats in my opinion. Certainly you can not compare him to Moss at this stage of their careers.
They have been so healthy compared to the pats it ain't funny. And, we have had that thrust in our face by a lot of colts fans, that you just gotta play with what you have. They were right. It sucked to not have Rodney. Seymore was banged up. Light was sick.
This time, I think we might be the healthiest that we ever have been? Its awesome.
It will taint the win, according to many fans and patriot haters. There is no doubt about it. Look at what people have said so far about the pats not playing anybody. I find it hilarious. People are still saying that crap. Then when their teams go and play the likes of Buffalo, and get punched in the face (maybe not win but get punched non the less), we don't hear anything about how maybe these teams aren't so bad. Heck, even Miami. Everyone wants to thumb their noses at the fins, but they are certainly capable of putting a hurtin on a team if they don't take them seriously. And yet, the pats have not played anyone. So, I guarentee that there will be people, should the pats win, who will say that the pats got lucky again. They will say that they can't believe how easy the pats have it and that they keep catching people at the perfect time, yada, yada, yada. Expect it from some.
But anyone with half a brain, and with some historical perspective, oh and with some shred of integrity will concede that the pats have truly worked their azzes off the first half of the season, and deserve every win, especially this one, at indy, against an amazing oponent in the colts.
I really feel that Harrison will be missed greatly by the colts by the way. I kindof agree with you on one hand that he is older, and that the colts use wayne and clark a lot more. But, Harrison is like a ghost out there. I mean, he is leathal in this capasity. He is greatly trusted. And he doesn't drop the ball. I still think that he is awesome. And he can certainly still play. Did you watch the game where he got hurt? He was blocking during a running play and got crunched when the tackle happened right behind him. A bunch of people kinda rolled up on the back of his leg. It probably yanked a bunch of stuff the wrong way in his leg. He really got hurt. You could see him right after the hit on the sidelines and he was not happy. This guy hardly ever shows anything. He goes to the bench and sits down. But not this time. Since he was standing, I thought that it was not that bad. But the look on his face seemed to say more. Like you could tell that he had a significant injury, but that he would bust his azz to get back in time.
He is hurt. When he comes back, he will certainly be a headache for people.
